Meet Rootie
Your hydroponic smart garden
Rootie is an autonomous indoor gardening system based on the hydroponics principle, which means it grows plants without soil. It is compact, yet efficient and a clean way to grow your own food at home.
If you like fresh food and don’t have access to an outdoor garden, Rootie will cover your needs. Be independent, don’t rely on the weather and grow your own food all year round.
For the last 2 years, we have been developing the ideal device which revolutionizes the way you grow plants. It doesn’t matter what the current season of the year is. With Rootie you will be able to grow your own food easily and efficiently all year round. Its plug&grow design allows any user to become a successful gardener no matter where he or she lives.
We developed Rootie to simplify the process of growing your favourite herbs and vegetables with minimum effort. This indoor hydroponic garden grows food with no soil in a matter of weeks through its self-watering system and artificial lighting designed specially for growing plants
Our goal is to bring this product to market via a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo starting in the coming weeks. We need your help to make this project a success story, so stay tuned and subscribe to our newsletter for the most up-to-date information.
